Follow Me Through the Jungle!

As we kept exploring the jungle, I began to see ripened cocoa pods, which was very cool! 

Where does it live?:

Cocoa trees normally live in tropical regions, which are known for very humid weather conditions. These plants love tropical regions because they have a better chance of growing into enormous trees!  

How does it use its environment to survive?:

For survival, the cocoa tree adapts to its enviroment by absorbing rain and requiring shade in order to grow. Water and shade are plentiful in tropical areas.

What can harm this creature or plant? Are we worried about it?:

For the most part, if the cocoa tree is properly managed, it can have high chances of survival! However, the weather can deeply impact the production of the cocoa from these tres. Since cocoa is high in demand, the exploitation of these plants can be extremely harmful both to the plant and environment. However, as long as these plants are kept in shady areas with lots of water, they have a great chance of producing more cocoa pods to keep chocolate-lovers happy!
